Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aviation seat technology, and in particular relates to a quick-release and quick-installation seat leg lock for aviation seats. Background Technology

[0002] In modern civil aircraft, aircraft seats, as one of the core components of the cabin, must meet requirements for airworthiness, safety, reliability, and maintainability. Traditional aircraft seat fixing methods mostly use bolt-fastening or snap-on structures, which are complex and time-consuming to install and remove, especially in emergency situations (such as seat malfunction, repair, or replacement), making rapid response difficult. Furthermore, traditional structures suffer from low assembly precision, susceptibility to loosening, and inconvenient operation, affecting maintenance efficiency and passenger experience. In addition, traditional connection mechanisms are prone to loosening under impact loads (such as emergency landings or turbulence), compromising structural safety.

[0003] Although some quick-release devices are used in existing technologies, they generally suffer from defects such as complex structure, insufficient reliability, and poor adaptability, making it difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of quick disassembly and assembly, high strength load-bearing capacity, and compliance with airworthiness and safety standards. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-release and quick-install leg lock for an aircraft seat that is simple in structure, easy to operate, safe and reliable, and conforms to aviation airworthiness standards.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the following problem:

[0006] A quick-release and quick-install leg lock for an aircraft seat includes a guide rail with an upward-facing T-shaped slide. Corresponding arc-shaped grooves are spaced along the length of the opposite side walls of the T-shaped slide. A lock body slides onto the upper surface of the guide rail. A slider that can slide within the T-shaped slide and disengage from the two opposite arc-shaped grooves, and an upward-facing first groove are fixed to the bottom surface of the lock body. A vertical threaded hole is provided on the upper wall of the first groove, and a limiting block that can slide on the upper surface of the guide rail is provided within the first groove. The lower part of the lifting bolt is a stepped shaft that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The external thread in the middle of the lifting bolt is screwed into the threaded hole, and the stepped shaft at the top and bottom matches the stepped hole on the limit block, which is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. A limit member is provided at the bottom surface of the limit block to prevent the lifting bolt from disengaging from the limit block. Rotating the lifting bolt can make the limit block abut against the upper surface of the guide rail and the slider abut against the upper surface of the T-shaped slide groove, thus locking the limit block on the guide rail. Reversing the lifting bolt can loosen the limit block from abutting against the slide, and the slider can slide in the T-shaped slide and leave the guide rail from the arc groove. The lock body is provided with mounting holes that can be connected to the legs of the aircraft seat.

[0007] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the limiting component is a cylindrical pin, and a transverse pin hole is provided on the stepped shaft extending from the bottom surface of the limiting block. The cylindrical pin is inserted into the pin hole to achieve the limiting.

[0008] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the limiting component is a self-locking nut, and an external thread is provided on the stepped shaft extending from the bottom surface of the limiting block. The self-locking nut is screwed onto the external thread to achieve the limiting.

[0009] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the top of the lifting bolt is provided with a polygonal prism groove in the center to facilitate the rotation of the lifting bolt with a special tool.

[0010] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the polygonal prism groove is a hexagonal prism groove.

[0011] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the slider has an upward-facing cylinder centrally located on the upper surface of the disc. The cylinder has an external thread and is screwed onto the internal thread groove of the lock body through the external thread. The outer diameter of the disc is greater than the distance between the two opposite side walls of the T-shaped slide and less than or equal to the inner diameter of the two opposite arc grooves.

[0012] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the lock body has two internal thread grooves, which are respectively set on the front and rear sides of the lock body, and there are also two corresponding sliders, which are respectively screwed onto the two internal thread grooves of the lock body.

[0013] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the bottom surface of the limiting block is provided with downwardly extending C-shaped protrusions on both sides, the step shaft is located between the two C-shaped protrusions, the openings of the two C-shaped protrusions are opposite to each other, and the C-shaped protrusions and the slider are an integral structure.

[0014] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the upper surface of the limiting block is provided with a downward-facing second groove.

[0015] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the thickness of the limiting block is less than the height of the first groove, so that the limiting block can move up and down within the first groove.

[0016] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0017] 1. Quick disassembly and assembly: The entire disassembly and assembly process of this utility model can be completed by simply rotating the lifting bolt with an Allen wrench. No other special tools are required, making it suitable for maintenance personnel to quickly replace seats.

[0018] 2. High load-bearing capacity: The lock body and slider of this utility model are made of high-strength aluminum alloy or titanium alloy materials, and with the cylindrical pin and limit block structure, it can meet the static and dynamic strength requirements of mainstream aviation seats.

[0019] 3. Precise positioning: The limiting block of this utility model cooperates with the cylindrical surface of the guide rail to ensure that the seat does not deviate in the front-back and left-right directions, thus improving efficiency and safety.

[0020] 4. Anti-detachment design: The cylindrical pin prevents the limit block and lifting bolt from accidentally coming off, ensuring that no errors occur during disassembly and assembly.

[0021] 5. Easy to maintain: The components of this utility model adopt a modular design, which facilitates replacement and maintenance and reduces life cycle costs.

[0022] 6. Strong compatibility: This utility model is applicable to different models of aircraft seats, improving its versatility. Attached Figure Description
